Tap It Local

"It's an alright bar. Food was palatable, but not at all worth the price. What really got under my skin is they charge a fee for using a credit card, which is not disclosed until after you pay. It's 2024, almost everyone pays with credit cards, and the prices are already higher than the food is worth; don't push the cost of using a credit card onto your patrons!! I will not be coming back."

"Ordered takeout…. Brisket sandwich- burnt bun, brisket was super dry. Cornbread apt- they gave me one square piece of cornbread Chicken tenders- if you life 1.2in of breading that’s partially burnt go for it. Kids burger- patty half the size of the bun. Ranch- A++ Salad- A Really disappointed with the quality of food for the price. It’s way too expensive. The service was very nice. I was so bummed when I got home and opened the containers was looking forward to it."

"Disappointed. First, had to ask if they had the beyond burger. (Took 10 minutes.) When the waitress came back with the burgers, 10 minutes after that, it had cheese on it. She apologized, took it back and said that the bun had egg in it. I asked what happened to the old buns: they no longer carry it and have no plans to bring it back. I really liked this place but I guess that place is out of my locations I can eat. The waitress was new, polite, but obviously the restaurant has changed. Not vegan or allergy friendly anymore."

"I tried this place out on mud Monday afternoon. It was not busy at all so we had our pick of seating. Our waitress was out pretty quickly and very friendly through our whole visit. We ordered a mushroom Swiss burger and the loaded burger. Both were good with their shoestring fries. And the burgers came out fast. All together a great experience."

"This Tap It Local is located in the Dominion Commons Shopping Center. This place is fairly easy to get to and there is ample parking available as well. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. My visit here was in the afternoon on October 18, 2020. I don't normally come all the way out to Chesapeake that often. We came out to try the place during the Chesapeake Restaurant Week 2020. We came in around 4 pm. The bar area was pretty busy. It was clear that there were was little social distancing at that part of the restaurant. When we came in, we asked to be seated in the non-bar area, but they put us there anyways. At that time, we had to wait a moment for someone to come back and they moved us over to the main dining area, which was empty. After a few moments, our server Deo came to the table. We were given the regular menus, but asked for the restaurant week menu and ordered our drinks. When we got that menu, it was different than what was online. I ended up pulling up the menu on my phone from the restaurant week page to show him what is online. He did honor that menu online, but you could tell that he was surprised and didn't know that was out there. We were ready to order at that point and I went with the Bacon Cheeseburger and my mom went with the All American Burger (both on the Restaurant Week menu). After about 8 to 10 minutes, the burgers came to the table. The burgers looked really good and they were. The burger was hot and juicy and cooked the way as requested. All in all the food was great. Now, for the observations and experiences during the overall visit. As noted above the food was great and was never an issue. Service was lackluster at best and the primary reason for the two star rating. One thing off hand is that the server rarely wore his mask properly, or not at all. There were several instances where there was no coverage with the mask and other times just covering the mouth, but not the nose as well. Also, it was hard to get a hold of him when we needed to ask for a few things such as mustard, ketchup, and extra napkins. I did ask at one point when he did come over to ask to speak to a manager, but either the manager was busy and never came over, or was never notified we wanted to speak to them. In the end, the food was great and I hope this was just an off day. This place is about 30-40 minutes away from where I live, so I won't come this way very often. Although this experience will not have me rushing back, I would try them again in the future and hopefully things will be different then."
